Better As A Memory Songtext / Lyric

I move on like a sinner's prayer

Lettin' go like a levee brakes

Walk away as if I don't care

Learn to shoulder my mistakes

I'm built to fade like your favorite song

Get reckless when there's no need

Laugh as your stories ramble on

Break my heart, but it won't bleed



My only friends are pirates

It's just who I am

Well, I'm better as a memory

Than as your man






I'm never sure when the truth won't do

I'm pretty good on a lonely night

I move on the way the storm blows through

I never stay but then again I might

I struggle sometimes to find the words

Always sure until I doubt

Walk a line until it blurs

Build walls too high to climb out



But I'm honest to a fault

It's just who I am

I'm better as a memory

Than as you man



I see you leaning

You're bound to fall

Well, I don't want to be that mistake

I'm just a dreamer, nothing more

You should know it before it gets too late



'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel

You never know where they're gonna land

First you're spinning then your standin' still

Left holdin' a losing hand

But one day your gonna find someone

And right away you'll know it's true

That all of your seekin's done

It's just a part of the passing through



Right there in that moment

You'll finally understand

That I was better as a memory, than as your man

Better as a memory, than as your man
